Discover an effective operational carrier for improving classroom teaching and learning effectiveness, and build a teacher-student interactive platform that aligns with the philosophy and model of quality-oriented education! The Teaching and Learning Holistic Design series is a highly influential supplementary teaching book. Through holistic teaching and learning design, it showcases templates for teacher-student interaction in classroom teaching and provides rare materials and well-crafted exercises found in few other supplementary resources. In the newly revised edition of this series, its guiding principles are reflected in the following aspects:
(1) The organic integration of curriculum and teaching; The Teaching and Learning Holistic Design series designs a "working curriculum," which refers to the curriculum actually implemented in the classroom, also known as an "experiential curriculum." The teaching content designed in this series is no longer just a carrier of specific knowledge but rather the process in which teachers and students jointly explore new knowledge. Teachers and students are integral parts of the curriculum and act as interacting subjects. Teachers are the curriculum—they are not isolated from it but are an integral part, a creator, and the main subject of the curriculum; students are equally creators and subjects of the curriculum. The series emphasizes teacher-student interaction and has created an effective interactive teaching platform. Teaching and curriculum transform and mutually promote each other, organically integrating into a unified whole. The curriculum thus becomes a dynamic, growing "ecosystem" and a complete culture.
(2) Effective control of classroom teaching; In the classroom, the knowledge received by students can be roughly divided into three aspects: Type A: Knowledge provided by textbooks and teaching reference materials; Type B: Personal knowledge of the teacher; Type C: New knowledge generated through teacher-student interaction. According to the requirements of the new curriculum philosophy, the knowledge provided by textbooks should be maximally transformed into teacher personal knowledge and new knowledge generated through teacher-student interaction. This changes the proportions of Type A, Type B, and Type C knowledge received by students.
(3) A platform for personalized teaching; The student workbook is derived after the revision of the Teacher's Book. It is synchronized with the Teacher's Book but can also stand alone, maintaining the completeness of the student workbook. At the same time, the student workbook retains the core content of the original series, such as the teacher-student interaction section, which is centered on the teacher in the Teacher's Book. In the Student's Book, it is presented in the form of students' class notes, emphasizing the "learning" process of students. Relevant materials can be transformed into questions, fill-in-the-blanks, or other related scenarios. The remaining sections are synchronized, such as lesson assignments and unit materials. Among them, the background information section is more comprehensive in the Teacher's Book and more concise in the Student's Book.
